    Because that’s listed under “or similar” and “with its accessories” you dunce, hence the 0% general duty tax when you look up the monitor category specifically along with cpu’s, wouldn’t make much sense differentiating between laptops which have monitors and cpu’s and individual separate monitors and cpu’s

    Which again for the fourth fuckin time is why they had to accuse him of trying the sell his shit instead of just informing him of a vat tax which doesn’t exist

    That’s why you have to read goverment codes very carefully because theyre designed to be confusing

      What a weasly little liar dude. The “or similiar” is only mentioned in regards to electronic notepads and it’s seperated with a semicolon. The accessories are mentioned with regard to portable projectors (like lenses and power adapters); the accessories of sail boats; the accessories of DVD players; the accessories of musical instruments. What the fuck is wrong with you? Seriously.

        a laptop, notebook, omni book or similar

        lmao you seriously think that “or similar” is only referring to the omni book, are you serious? Also just what do think the possible accessories for a DVD burner and portable projector are, think and use common sense for one second you dunce

        Honestly dude shut the fuck up already, I’ve repeated the basic facts of personal belongings tax exemption over and over and you have ignored all of it to peddle pedantic nonsense over an incomplete translated list of examples provided by a summary of the relevant code

        You were wrong and you didn’t know what you were talking about, get the fuck over it, instead of convincing yourself Mexican custom are actaully charging tourists vat taxes for dozens of potential products in their luggage

          A colon is this ,

          A semicolon is this ;

          ;a laptop, notebook, omni book or similar;

          is separated by semicolons like I mentioned above.

          Why are you such a debatelord about this? I allow myself to think that you understand that i was referring to the entire list from laptop to omnibook and you take the moment to strawman it into “lmao you seriously think that “or similar” is only referring to the omni book”. Last time I checked the similarities between a laptop, notebook and an omnibook include having a dedicated os with typing and cursor capabilities. A monitor is not that nor is it an accessory to a DVD burner/portable projector. Look at this image, do any of the accessories for a combo DVD burner/Projector look like a monitor to you? Also neither of us is right. This is wholly dependent on the customs agent you get. I’m just saying that the customs person had reason to charge a tax on the monitor and that this is not the “shakedown” you think it is.
